Why is March Madness so popular every year?

Did the NCAA sprinkle anti-upset powder on the courts today? All the higher seeds are winning so far.

I thought you weren't watching.

I've found that EITHER Thursday OR Friday has the upsets. Not both. Since there were upsets yesterday, I'm not expecting many, if any, today.

I just look at the scores on ESPN.com…

Apparently in Canada there are viewers too... that were so angry that TSN cut it off for curling...

I was watching but I had to turn if off with a minute left as my lunch break was over and I had to head back to work. But did any of those players that ran on the floor get a tech? Cause the game wasn't over. That should've been a technical on the team at least.

So on the Oweh shot that sent it to OT, it hit 00:00 while the shot was in the air. So when the players ran on the court it was the end of regulation and no technicals were assessed.

Now last week during the conference tournaments that did happen a couple of times when players ran out on the court when there was still time on the clock. They should've got Ts, but none were called.

It's been a long time, but I do miss when the courts just had the host team's logos and graphics on the court. This generic crap is boring!

It would feel like a slap in the face to the school that isn’t involved in PLAYING the game…

Except teams don't play on their home court, even if they are in the tournament.

How would it be seen as insulting?
